Have you ever been so frustrated with life that you just wanted to throw everything away and start fresh? It sounds great until you start considering all the ramifications involved.
Things like:
- Quitting your job
- Selling the house and moving to a new location
- Saying goodbye to friends and family (at least for a little while)
- Dropping out of church, school, and various other civic organizations
- Saying no to routine and saying yes to radical change
The list could go and on but you get the idea. Starting fresh is far from an easy process. One can get nauseous just thinking about all of the ramifications and consequences.
Not to say that change can’t be good in our lives, but sometimes it just seems easier to keep the status quo by leaving our fantasy of a life change for another day.
Angie Orth made the life-changing decision to follow through on a life-change. With her thirtieth birthday looming, Orth decided to escape her everyday life and embark on a journey of a lifetime. So, she quit her job, launched a travel blog, and booked a one-way ticket to the South Pacific and a few other exotic ports of call.
Along the way, Orth found herself dodging tsunamis, earthquakes, political revolutions, and the relentless pursuit of her family trying to contact her. But most importantly, despite her global misadventures, Orth strengthened her relationship with God and found a new resolve to chart the course for the rest of her life.
In her new book, “Flirting with Disaster: True Tales of Fear, Failure, and Faith”, Orth shares a few pages from living life unscripted yet still on a mission. But most importantly, she demonstrates that God’s vision for our lives is far better than anything we could ever come up with.
Orth joins us on the Crossmap Podcast talk about how she made a complete 180 degree turn that changed everything about her life in a positive way. Listen how living life unscripted yet still on mission led her directly into a much stronger relationship with God.
